Spring Break

I want to travel over spring break -- I wonder where I can go. I would really love to go to Utah, but I think I should go to Utah at the end of May sometime since spring break might be a little too cold still. Perhaps I can go to Peru and visit Machu Picchu and Cuzco! I bet that would be a really amazing trip.

DIA

I recently went to the Detriot Institute of Art for its grand opening with my friend Esha and was pleasantly surprised with it. The DIA had been renovated to resemble the Met and of course, I really like the Met, so that was a good choice. Of course it can't compare to the Met in terms of size and the number of famous pieces but it was still really nice. We checked out the Asian, Egyptian, Native America, and Modern Art sections (it was strange that the called impressionist art modern art. When I think of Modern Art I think of Rothko, Klee, Warhol, etc.) We also saw a Diego Rivera mural and checked out some photography. It was super crowded for the grand opening since they weren't charging admission, but luckily Esha and I arrived in time so we didn't have to wait in line for a long time. I think the Modern Art section was the most crowded, every wanted to see the Monets, the van Goghs, the degas, etc. I even saw a piece or two that I had seen in the SFMoma earlier in the year.

I want to go to more art museums! I will have to check out the MFA and the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum when I have a spare weekend. Not to mention the Natural History Museum that is across the street from my office.
